But then by this logic why aren’t we regulating mainstream news too - I’m continually shocked by the sensationalist titles that have nothing to do with the article content, poor sources, or poorly derived conclusions. Why is that getting a free pass?
- gowld 9y agoOh please. Mainstream news is nothing like the completely fabricated often-satire tat gets passed around to whip of frothy hate on Facebook.
- chiaro 9y agoRegulation is one of many tools that could be employed, and I don't mean to give smaller media outlets a free pass by focussing on the elephant in the room. "How do we educate our kids about this?" is a more innocuous one.
- Quanttek 9y ago(1) There is a massive difference between a bad article and fake news, which is completely fabricated information (e.g. pizzagate). Also, learn to differentiate between good journalism (e.g. NYT, WaPo) and tabloids/other rags (e.g. Fox News, Independent, Daily Mail) (2) Mainstream news is already regulated to some extents
- taysic 9y agoI disagree that there isn’t some totally fabricated information on the good sources you listed.
